Courts Grant Provisional Amparos Shielding AMLO’s Sons From Arrest in Huachicol Fiscal Probe

Temporary protections remain pending judicial review of unsigned third‑party petitions before an October 28 constitutional hearing.

Overview

  • A federal judge in Zacatecas granted a suspensión de plano that bars detention, incomunicación, disappearance or privation of life, and orders immediate release if any detention occurred outside legal procedure.
  • A separate filing in Mexico City produced a suspensión de plano from the Ninth Administrative District Court, which then declined competence and sent the case to the criminal courts.
  • The petitions were promoted by a person identifying as Francisco Javier Rodríguez Smith Macdonald, were filed without signatures, and listed the Hotel Círculo Mexicano as the address for notifications.
  • Judges ordered authorities to be notified, required the named individuals to ratify the filings or face nullification, and scheduled the constitutional hearing for October 28.
  • The amparos include multiple figures tied in reporting to an alleged huachicol fiscal network under FGR inquiry in Tamaulipas, while reports indicate the López Beltrán brothers do not have active arrest warrants.
